1 [neighs.]
[horse chuffs.]
[theme music playing.]

Whoa, girl.
What's that? [Abigail.]
Is that a hole? [gasps.]
Something's glittering down there.
-[gravel scraping.]
-[Pru.]
Careful, Lucky.
The earthquake made the ground Aah! [chuckles.]
[gasps.]
[shrieks and grunts.]
unstable.
-[Abigail.]
Are you okay? -I'm fine.
Luckily, I broke my fall.
[Abigail.]
What's down there? Bats or spiders or creepy spider-bats? [Pru scoffs.]
Don't be silly, Abigail.
Creepy spider-bats live in trees.
Can one of you bring me some matches? [Pru.]
Here.
[grunts.]
[Pru.]
Nothing's getting me down there.
Pals, I think I think there's gold down here.
Everywhere! Ow! -Gold? Where? -[gasps.]
Oh.
[strikes match.]
Look, an old mine cart that doesn't have a skeleton inside? Phew.
Not that I was worried much.
[exhales sharply.]
Layton Mining Company? They shut down years ago.
But why would they abandon a mine with all this gold still here? Maybe the earthquake opened up a new section, which means -This is all mine! -[Abigail and Lucky.]
This is all ours! Ours.
[horses whinnying.]
What are you gonna do with your gold? I want to bring wealth and happiness to everyone I know.
Yeah, okay, but what do you really want? A horse-shaped swimming pool.
Abigail? I want to buy a house next door to my house for Boomerang to live in.
[neighs.]
And then another house 100 miles away for Snips to live in.
I'm getting gold horseshoes for Chica Linda.
[gasps.]
Stop! -[Abigail.]
What is it? -[Pru.]
Whoa! We have to keep this quiet.
Julian is in town.
-Blech.
-Hmm.
If he sees the gold, he'll find some way to con us out of it.
[Pru.]
Then let's make sure he doesn't see it.
[horse neighs.]
[sighs.]
No sign of Julian.
We made it.
Great.
-[Julian.]
What's great? -[all gasp.]
It's him! What do we do? Hey, Rabbit Foot.
Pru and Abigail, so good to see you.
And we are seeing you, too.
[chuckles.]
-[chuffs.]
-Aww.
Spirit wants a hug, too.
[chuffs.]
Maybe not.
[laughs.]
Come here, Abigail.
-Ah! -[gasps.]
-Abigail! -Sorry! I don't perform well under pressure.
Is this-- Where-- where did you-- How-- how did you And can I, uh None of your business and no! We're gonna show it to our parents, start a gold mine and get rich! -Abigail! -[sighs.]
I know.
I know.
But how can you lie to those baby blues? First, they're green, but thank you.
Second, you're gonna show your parents? You can't tell parents about this! They'll take the gold from you and use it on responsible things like books and paved roads and sensible shoes.
Have fun walking safely to the library.
He's making sense, I think.
He's looking at me with his eyes again.
-[Pru groans.]
-Listen to Abigail.
Sweet, smart Abigail.
This is an opportunity unlike any we've ever had before.
Pals, we should get going, now.
-Look, girls -[Lucky.]
No.
-I know we don't have the best history.
-No! -But that was the past.
-Absolutely no! -And this could be the future.
-Still no.
-Our future.
-Nope.
[whinnies.]
[grunts.]
Okay, okay, look, I know money, and I know how to get things done.
Administration, that's what this operation needs.
If you let me be a part of it, I promise I'll be straight with you.
And to show you I'm on the up-and-up, if things go south, I'll take all the blame.
No.
So you'll think about it.
[groans.]
[Abigail.]
I've been thinking about it, and I think maybe we should team up with Julian.
[laughs.]
Oh, Abigail, how funny you are, with your jokes.
I don't think she's joking.
And I think I agree with her.
[Lucky.]
Pru, what are you talking about? [Pru.]
He does know money and how to get things done.
-[Lucky.]
But-- -[Pru.]
And he made a good point.
My parents would never let me -buy those gold horseshoes.
-But-- And besides, mining all that gold is gonna be hard.
We need help.
What you're saying makes complete sense.
And that's how I know he's conning us.
Lucky, it'll be fine.
All right, all right.
But we'll watch him like a hawk.
[Abigail.]
Where do you think Julian is? [Julian.]
Good afternoon, Miraderians! I might have an idea.
I hope you're all enjoying the hot chocolate and croissants.
Ah! Like this bold citizen.
This is all on me, by the way.
A token of my appreciation and confidence as we set off on this grand adventure together.
I'll follow you anywhere, JuJu.
See? I warned you.
He's telling everyone.
Up to no good already.
And it's only been 16 minutes! All I see is that he's already got us a bunch of new recruits, and Chica Linda needs those gold shoes for a competition in Cannon City next week.
-[Chica Linda whinnies.]
-[Julian.]
RF! I had a feeling you'd come around.
I was just telling my friends here about the amazing, stupendous, phenomenal opportunity for all of us to become rich beyond our wildest dreams! We're all ears, Cousin Julian! Thing is, I can't tell you until we get the boss's approval.
[horses snorting.]
[groans.]
Fine.
Great! Now, you just need to sign this confidentiality agreement, promising that you won't tell anyone what I'm about to tell you.
Not even Tugaboo? Not even Tugaboo.
Who's Tugaboo? [both.]
Our horse.
Oh.
He's fine.
Just don't tell any grown-ups.
So what do you say? Oh, JuJu, uh, why does this say "possible hard labor"? Because it might involve that.
Well, have a delightful adventure, all.
[shudders.]
Perfect.
Now I can tell you all the secret.
We found a gold mine! We're all going to be rich! [all gasp.]
-[cheering.]
-[Abigail laughs.]
-[Turo.]
Yeah! All right! Yeah! -[children chuckling.]
[groans.]
I'm gonna put my gold in a bank, think about it all safe and smile.
Let's buy all the pies in the bakery.
Let's buy the bakery.
I'm gonna take a trip to visit Santa! Julian's got to be plotting something, right, Spirit? [neighs and chuffs.]
[grunting.]
Phew! Whew.
I cleaned out the general store.
Now, how do we get the gold out of the hole? Okay, here's the plan.
We build a pulley to take us down and send the gold up.
The horses will pull the bucket to the top.
[whinnies.]
Then the little kids will take the gold into town.
If any grown-ups notice, they'll think we're just helping clean up after the earthquake.
Then we hide it until we're ready to be rich.
And that's where I come in.
My ex-roommate's father is a banker, and he'll be able to get us a pretty penny for the gold.
Well, more than a pretty penny, actually.
Millions and millions of pennies in large denomination bills.
I've never seen anything like that.
It's beautiful.
It's-- it's horrible! It's-- it's me! When I'm rich from the gold mine, I'm gonna buy that doll so I can always hold you next to my heart.
[gags.]
No, I'll buy it first and use it whenever I want to practice my kicking.
Not if I buy it first.
Then when Señor Carrots gets lonely at night, he can hug it like a Snipsy Bear.
Ugh.
[grunting.]
[grunts.]
[grunting.]
[grunts.]
[sighs.]
[sighs.]
Mm.
[creaking.]
Here we go.
[Snips.]
Lucky, we want to go down where the gold is.
Yeah, like you.
Yeah, being up here is boring.
It's dangerous down there.
All dark and-- I'm not scared of the dark.
I have Snips to protect me.
I promise you aren't missing anything but spiderwebs and dirt.
-I like spiderwebs.
-I love dirt! Sorry, kids, but it's right in your contract.
-Uh-- -No questions about the operation.
Oh, what's this? It also says here the transport team is entitled to a milkshake after a hard day's work.
This whole Julian thing is making me nuts! [chuffs.]
He's acting all trustworthy, and I don't trust it for a second.
-[sighs.]
But should I? -[Julian.]
Of course you should! Also, does everyone talk to their horses in Miradero, or is that just you? [groans.]
Hey, listen, I wouldn't have trusted me either, but I'm glad you did, so well, thanks.
[chuffs.]
[nickers.]
Hey, looks like both of you are warming up to me.
It's really fun working with you, Lucky.
And it's surprisingly not horrible working with you.
I'll take it.
[Bianca.]
Listen here, when I get Doll Snips, I'm going to take him to the top of Punta Libre for a picnic.
I'm going to take him to the top of Punta Libre and throw him over the edge! Doll Snips doesn't want to go anywhere with youse! And I should know, 'cause he's me! [Turo.]
Snips, Snips, Snips.
You'll grow out of dolls.
But you know what will never stop growing? Interest on your bank account.
We should probably finish mining the gold first, though, right? Gold? We would, but you won't let us into the mine, remember? We're sick of toting buckets.
Yeah.
Rebellion! You're rebelling because you want to work harder, in more dangerous conditions? Nah-ah-ah, no rebellion.
It specifically states in your contract that rebellions are not allowed.
Also mutinies, revolutions, overthrows, coups or general rumblings of discontent.
No rumblings? I'm beginning to think I should have had my mom read this contract.
Okay, then, buddy, let's focus on getting filthy stinkin' rich.
[sighs softly.]
[donkey brays.]
What have you three got there? -Nothing! -Gold! Er, fish? I know everything! I know about the mine.
I know what's in the hayloft.
My giant ball of used gum? Ew! I'm talking about your gold.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I mean the big kids' gold.
Nuh-uh! It's all of our gold! Is that what they told you? Oh, you poor, poor children.
So terribly swindled.
[wood creaks.]
No way! Cousin Julian promised to share.
We have a contract.
Yes, but how much is he actually giving you? If I was your boss, I'd let you go down into that mine as much as you wanted.
That way, you'd see what the big kids are hiding from you.
Then, after you brought me my share, I'd let you take all the gold you could carry right away.
You could buy whatever your hearts desire today.
Uh, we'll be right back.
[whispering.]
She's gonna cheat us, I just know it.
She won't tolerated it.
-[whispering.]
We should just-- -[Snips.]
No, guys.
I do want to get my hands on some of that gold, you understand me? -[normal voice.]
Uh -[whispering.]
No.
No, I think we can trust her, don't you? Come on.
[Snips whispers.]
No, no, no.
Oh, come now! That is enough.
[normal voice.]
Okay, okay.
We want you to be the boss of us.
Me? Oh, I couldn't.
Or could I? And you're for my horse-shaped pool, and you're for my horse-shaped fountain, and you're for my horse-shaped front door, which I know will be hard to fit through, but I don't care.
[chuffs.]
[neighs.]
Sorry, boy.
I know it's no fun being on bucket duty all day.
-You want to run, don't you? -[whinnies.]
Quick ride before lunch? [chuffs.]
[Pru.]
Let's ride to Floating Oaks.
[Abigail.]
No, I want to check out Chicken Neck Canyon.
-[Snips.]
This is so great! -[Bianca.]
Yeah! Let's go! -Climb aboard.
-[Snips.]
Get out of my way! I'll lower you down.
[humming.]
Oopsies! [children shouting.]
-[thudding.]
-[Snips.]
Oof! Uh Oh, thank goodness you're all okay.
Since you're down there, why not toss a piece or two of gold up here? [Snips.]
Sure.
Here, catch! Ow! [Abigail.]
Sorry.
Boomerang gets cramps if he runs too soon after eating.
Oh, look, someone's coming to help, someone else.
Sometimes when I'm alone I sing a little song about me [whistling.]
-[wood creaking.]
-Huh? My barn! My beautiful barn! And Maricela promised us more gold, and we believed her! Turns out she's a horrible boss and an even worse rope-lowerer.
-You're sure you're okay? -We're fine! You didn't tell us there are mine cars down here we can race.
-[both gasp.]
-It's kind of fun being trapped.
Yes, trapped down here with you.
-[sighs dreamily.]
-[Snips.]
I changed my mind! Get me out of here! Hey, buddy, can you toss that rope up? [Snips.]
Sure I can! [grunts.]
[Bianca.]
You're so close! [Snips grunts.]
Ow! [Mary Pat.]
We're never getting out of here.
Hold tight.
We'll get help.
Don't worry about it.
This mine can't hold us.
Mary Pat and I can launch Bianca up towards the sky.
[Mary Pat.]
Or I can hop on your shoulders, and Bianca can climb on my shoulders [groans.]
My mom's gonna kill me if Snips breaks another bone on my watch.
[Snips.]
That's my face! [Mary Pat.]
It makes a good step.
Stay still.
[Snips.]
Whose boot is this? Everybody freeze.
Do nothing! -[thudding.]
-[grunting.]
Well, keep breathing, but nothing else! I don't know, Lucky.
We've got some real good ideas down here.
[gasps.]
Human pyramid! [sighs.]
Please, no.
Not the pyramid.
[children exclaiming.]
[Snips.]
Okay.
-[children exclaiming.]
-[Snips.]
Okay! Stop! Please! Just wait! Whoa, whoa! [sighs.]
-[Bianca.]
Ah, she's dead! -[Snips.]
She's not dead.
-[Bianca crying.]
-She just fainted.
I can wake her up.
Let me just grab the chisel.
[groans.]
If you stop, we'll, uh -[Bianca crying.]
-[grunting.]
[gasps.]
give you half our gold! -Ooh.
-Right? -We'll do what, now? -Not my cut.
Oh, come on, Pru! Chica Linda doesn't need gold to win gold.
Plus, half a ton of gold is still half a ton of gold! [groans.]
I guess you're right.
Uh Okay, cuz.
You win.
-[Lucky.]
We got a deal, Snips? -Deal.
But how are you gonna get us out? I've got it! -Julian, grab that-- -[horse neighs.]
[gasps.]
Typical! I bet he's going to rat us out so he doesn't get in trouble! Ugh! I knew we shouldn't have trusted him.
Ugh, I'm so sick of Julian doing this What can I do, Sagebrush? I tried to do right by everybody for once and look what happened! Nobody's taking any of my hard-earned gold.
[whinnies.]
Oh, stop looking at me like that.
The kids will be fine.
And why am I even talking to you? I got to get out of this town.
[neighs.]
[exhales.]
[Lucky.]
This is a good idea.
This is a good idea.
This is a good idea.
This is a good idea.
I'm not so sure this was a good idea.
[Lucky.]
Too late! [humming softly.]
Hi, JuJu.
Sorry, beautiful.
I don't have time to chat.
Oh, I think you do.
Looks to me like you're about to cash in.
Well, me too.
Cut me in, or I'll tell everyone [gasps.]
you're stealing all the gold for yourself! [gasps.]
That's blackmail! And? And I like your style.
Let's go get some gold! [grunts.]
[Julian.]
What are you doing with my gold? Oh, this was you? [chuckles.]
Well, it must be yours, 'cause it ain't gold.
It's fool's gold.
-What's fool's gold? -[Mr.
Granger.]
Pyrite.
Looks like gold, but it's just iron.
Fooled plenty of folks in Miradero's early days until they learned the hard way.
It's completely worthless.
Now, seems to me you owe me a new hayloft.
Oh, I'm so sorry, Mr.
Granger.
Uh, we'll run right to the general store and get some wood.
Oh, I've got plenty of wood and hammers and nails.
Now get started.
Yeah, Maricela.
Let's get started.
I have no idea what's happening here.
I was just looking for my dear friend Pru to invite her to tea.
Cook is making scones.
I don't think folks would be happy to hear you dropped three kids into an abandoned mine and then abandoned them.
[groans.]
[gasps.]
[grunts.]
Okay, let's get you out of here.
-Ready, Pru? -Ready! Aw, I never get to grab the rope.
[Lucky.]
Here.
Catch! Oh, no! Guess I better climb down, too.
Turo saves the-- Turo's got it! Yay, Turo.
[chuckles.]
-We're ready.
-[chuffs.]
Okay, go! Come on, Boomerang.
You can do it.
[neighs.]
Nope.
It's too heavy for him.
[sighs.]
Everyone, empty your pockets.
[all grunting and groaning.]
Let's try this again.
Go, Boomerang! [neighs.]
[groans.]
All the gold! [children groaning and grunting.]
[Boomerang neighs.]
Okay, hold tight.
Oh, it's working! [children grunting.]
-[grunting.]
-[hammer tapping.]
-[sighs.]
-What's going on here? It's Lucky's fault! This was her idea.
She should be the one toiling away! Lucky, is that true? Uh It wasn't Lucky, Mr.
Granger.
It was all me.
[sighs.]
I suppose this isn't too hard.
[grunts.]
You can really get your aggressions out on these little nail things, can't you? [grunts.]
Whoo-hoo! [laughing and snorting.]
We're sorry the gold didn't turn out to be real.
[Snips.]
I had such plans.
People would have respected me and called me Mr.
Snips.
Well, turns out fool's gold isn't completely worthless.
Winthrop at the general store bought some to sell as souvenirs.
So here.
It's your return on investment.
It's just enough to buy the Snips doll if you go in on it together.
-Oh, yay! -Oh! [Snips.]
I get the head! Well, that took care of one pound of our gold.
-What are we gonna do with the rest? -I know someone who might want it.
[chuffs.]
